Re:Replit killing Bounties program by Sept 6, 2025 on Tuesday July 22, 2025 @02:45AM (#44643876)
Got an email from Replit’s ops guy, Santiago Orozco, saying they’re shutting down Bounties on Sept 6, 2025. No blog, no tweet, just a quiet email. Devs need to wrap up open bounties by then, and Cycles can be cashed out or turned into Replit credits (per their ToS). They’re pushing users to Contra, a freelance platform, for future gigs.

This feels off. In 2023, Replit’s CEO Amjad Masad was all over Bounties as the next big thing for software dev (https://www.parttimetech.io/p/amjad-masad-future-of-software...). He talked up reducing transaction costs to zero, integrating Bounties into the IDE, and enabling solo devs to build massive projects. Now it’s just... gone? For a YC-backed company that raised $100M+, this silent shutdown is weird. Did Bounties not work out, or is Replit pivoting away from their “code for all” vibe? Anyone else caught off guard? What’s the play for gig-coding now—Contra or something else?

if I see only positive reviews of a product. I am more skeptical about it as compared to when there are a few negative reviews with some problems described.

from the self-post dept.

So, I recently discovered this "privacy friendly" website called saymine.com that asks me for permission to access my emails so it can detect what companies have my data and automatically send them request to delete my account.Should I trust this service?
